CHAMBERSBURG — The Glorious & The Brave” will be shown at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 20, in the Fellowship Hall at Central Presbyterian Church.

The film tells the stories of eyewitnesses and participants in history, featuring five local World War II veterans and two local Holocaust survivors. They share their experiences of the war, including their face-to-face contact with Adolf Hitler’s “Final Solution” in erasing more than 6 million Jews from the earth.

“The Glorious & The Brave” documentary film and book were created by students in Martina Fegan’s human rights literature classes at Greencastle-Antrim High School funded by a Learn & Serve grant.

After the film, a meet-and-greet will feature the people interviewed in the film. The veterans include Richard Hamsher, Richard Gingrich, Paul Kriner, Verne Baker, and William Benson. Survivors include Ellie Chapman and Sylvia Bonebrake. The veterans and survivors will also autograph DVDs and books that will be available for purchase. The DVD costs $1, and the book is $10.

The event is open to the public and there is no cost to attend. Refreshments will be served and a free-will offering will be collected.

All profits from the sales and free-will offering will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. To date, a total of $1,000 has been raised for each organization.
